How to quickly raise the rank in CS:GO?

Most CS:GO players are interested in raising their rank, but often get stuck on one rank and can't move on. So what do you need to do to develop your level of play? In this article you will find ten tips that will help you advance through the rank system.

How does the system work?

Let's start with how the ranking system works in CS:GO. At the moment in the game there are 18 ranks that a player can get. The lowest rank is Silver-1 and the highest rank is Global Elite.

Valve does not disclose exactly how the ranking and promotion system works, but over several years of experience, the rule of thumb is that a player's rank increases after five consecutive wins. Therefore, in order to quickly rise in rank you need to have long streaks without losses or draws.

There are no loopholes for this, you just need to learn how to play CS:GO well, so we have prepared 10 tips that will help you raise your rank.

Study one map in detail and play on it

The easiest way to raise your rank is to learn a specific map. Learn all about positions and timings, this will give you a big advantage. The easiest maps to learn are Mirage and Inferno.

And for the current moment you can also choose Anubis, because you will have a huge advantage over other players who do not know the location at all yet. After selecting the map play only her and gain experience.

And here will help you with this map called Yprac Anubis Guide, where all the basic grenades are collected, where you can learn how to correctly learn how to pick positions and of course learn how to move correctly on the map.

Choose a specific role that you will be playing

You need to choose a defense and attack role to quickly raise your rank. Which weapon will you play with - automatic or sniper rifles? Which plat will you defend - A or B? In what position will you do it? How will you behave in the attack?

All of these questions need to be answered ahead of time and you need to practice the style and positions you will play. This way you will reach peak form much faster.

Study the spreads on the chosen map

Grenades are a very important element of CS:GO, which often brings victory in rounds. Grenades are especially important when playing as an attacker. Minimally you need to learn two smokes, one molotov and two flechettes for each plat per attack.

Grenades for CT are very situational and highly dependent on the specific map and plenta - everyone has to learn them individually.

And here again, all the basic grenades can be learned on maps from Steam workshop called Yprac, there you can be in the game on the set trajectories learn to throw all the basic grenades.

Play on retake servers

The beginning of a round is usually easy for either side. You can make a plan for the round and play it out, but once the bomb is planted, any plan stops working. Everything here rests solely on your wits and shooting. Most of the players get nervous in such situations.

To fix this, there are separate servers where rounds start by setting a bomb. Valve has also added a special retake mode, which can be found in the matchmaking search menu. Play more retakes and it will make you more confident in post-play situations.

Use binds

Often players do not pay enough attention to the binds that are necessary to use. We have already written about the binds that are necessary to win. If you start using these binds, you will start to raise ranks much faster.

For example, the most important of the binds are

alias "+jumpthrow" "+jump;-attack"; alias "-jumpthrow" "-jump"; bind alt "+jumpthrow" (Bind to so-called jumpthrow)
bind z "use weapon_flashbang"; bind x "use weapon_smokegrenade"; bind c "use weapon_hegrenade"; bind v "use weapon_molotov;use weapon_incgrenade" (Grenade Binds. They will save you more than 2 seconds of time per round while you use the wheel or keyboard to move grenades in your inventory. )

Train your aim

The most basic skill in CS:GO is shooting. Everyone trains it in a different way - someone piles bots on a special map, and someone plays a lot of dematches. We advise you to combine these methods for better results.

Just for you, we have collected the most useful maps for practicing your shooting skills:

crashz' Crosshair Generator v3 (карта на которой вы сможете выбрать для себя подходящий прицел или просто скопировать его у про-игрока. Но это не все, если обернуться назад — то там будет аж 3 различных режима для тренировки стрельбы.
Yprac Aim Trainer (самая популярная карта из раздела “стрельбы по мишеням)
Aim Botz - Training (карта, где вам предстоит убивать стоячих, бегучих, летящий ботов, а все для того, чтобы улучшить ваш AIM)

All maps can be found by their name in Steam Workshop.

See demos of professionals in your positions

Where can you get an example of your position wagering? The best option is to choose a professional player who plays in positions similar to yours. By watching a high level of play, you will gain experience and see the chips you can use.

Having downloaded the file with the extension .dem you just need to go to the game and in the console write the command "demoui" and then select the desired demo on your computer and study each step.

Find a team

When playing solo, it's very hard to set up teamplay with random teammates. Even if you find at least one good player to be on Discord with you, you'll find it much easier to play and you'll start to rank up faster.

So how do you find the right team? The answer is very simple - play a lot of mixes and make acquaintances. That's how teams are built, this one met that one, and that one met that one, and so it goes.

Communicate

Even if you decide to play solo, make active use of voice chat. Give information clearly and listen to your teammates. In addition to this, try to support your team, from this comes the following advice.

Don't be toxic

Of course, when you see your teammate playing terribly, you want to tell him everything you think about him, but don't do it. You'll vent your anger, but it won't improve your game or your teammates' game. If you need to vent your anger, at least do it not in voice chat.

Rages demoralize your teammates and also affect you. Sometimes it can lead to a long skirmish, and then the game is definitely not winnable. Control your emotions.

These ten tips will help you improve your ranked game. Once you start following them, you will immediately see your skill development as well as an increase in rank. And when you use them at a great distance, you can quite become an amateur and take part in semi-professional leagues.
